Space Race

Were the core of our planet gold, Would we still be scouring space? Or would we put the moon on hold While to earth’s center we race?

We would race to the car, drilling until our world exploded, making no apologies.

I'm afraid that is true, Caren. Yep, it IS true!

God forbid that they ever do that, the core is unstable as it is. Tom

So it is, Tom. I suspect it is a conglomeration of molting metals...perhaps a little gold!

If most of humanity, without haste, begin nurturing, loving, and protecting the Earth along with all life forms living on it, then most (for the welfare of humanity's future) cosmic explorations will then be greatly justified! Otherwise...I love that you brought this subject out in the open, whether intentionally or otherwise. Thank you, Milt!!...ab *{space mining benefits only the largest corporations}*

Most interesting conjecture on my little poem, Anselmo. Thanks so much. I'm interested in seeing how various readers react to it.
